wjkotze Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It's a shame the FE system standard zoom lenses are sucky. Look at the horror bokeh here on 24 to 70 f4 http://www.photozone.de/sonyalphaff/867-zeiss2470f4oss?start=2 Also bags of distortion. The 18 to 105 F4 APSC should be ideal, but have obscene distortion: I dunno what the excuse is. They aren't actually designing for very short flange, there's a big gap at the back of the E/FE lenses so they don't need extreme correction at the edges. The quality sucks compares to the old Contax Zeiss but apparently it's the same company. The standard zooms are all overpriced and poor performers either in speed or quality. Very sad... The Sony A7S supports in-camera lens corrections for video. This obviously only applies to dedicated e-lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 regardless, this is Zeiss we're talking about. Why design something so poorly and rely on lossy software fixes? These guys know glass... it's odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Rangefinder Zooms might be something new in the industry (specially for zeiss who aren't exactly know to be the greatest zoom lens innovators). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
